Baseball teams play pretty much every day, hockey about 2 times a week.
Since you only play teams not in your conference twice a year (home and away) and not in your division 3 times, this won't work at all.
For example, if you want Calgary to play any eastern team its two game series back to back, it would be a lot of travel for both. You'd end up having a series of 1 game road trips throughout the season. It would make team travel all the time.
In baseball, teams play 3-4 game series to alleviate travel. In hockey, the opposite happens.
